~* Violin *~
Heyho!
This day was plainly amazing... I had the feeling of living a completely different life, really. And it made me so happy! I went outside, meeting new people, learning new beautiful things. I can't wait for next Thursday!
But, first things first. This afternoon I was so excited! Fortunately I had some forums (fora?) to check on the internet and it didn't take that long until five o'clock. I finally could go! Short stop at my grandmother's paper shop and then to the bus stop. Okay, not very exciting at all, so I'll skip to music school.
The student before me was ill or something and I could go in earlier than expected. My teacher is so nice! She looks very nice, too. And her violin case is so beautiful! Dark green velveteen everywhere and pictures in the lid and, most of all, her violin itself. Maybe I'll gather the courage to someday ask her if I can take a photo of it, so I can draw it!
Well, she said she was quite impressed that I own my money for the lessons myself. I don't really understand how she is so fascinated by it - I mean, my parents can't afford it and I wish for it very much, so it's only natural to earn it yourself, isn't it? I am always surprised to see how others (especially other teenagers...) react when hearing about it. *shrugs*
Anyway, there was a little questioning about what I know about music theoretically. I still know the scale, I can differ some notes (I lack the knowledge of the English words, sorry!) and I've been searching the internet a little for info about violins. Oh well.
Then she played a little on her violin and explained to me some things about the sound and such. And, oh, it was so beautiful! Those wonderful, smooth, brown tones! I really had to hold back from saying how I love the colors. I want to someday do it too!
Then she showed me how to hold the violin and the bow. Woah, not as easy as it seems! Especially holding the bow. But she lauded how relaxed my fingers are. I bet that's from writing and drawing so much ^_~
That's also what I have to practise until next week. I already started a little and she showed me how I can practise at school with pencils. Teehee, now I have something to distract me with during boring lessons XD
I also promised to show her some pieces by Bond - she's only heard of them until now and is really interested in what they sound like. So, please, Nee-chan, if you read this: would you do me the favour to send me some of the songs on your computer? You have so many nice ones, could you pick a few to put a nice CD together? (Because I'd also like to listen to it for myself ;) )
Oh and I have to get a "Schulterstütze" because they somehow have to few at the music school. Mrs Strohe offered to look at home for another one of hers to lend me until I get one myself.
I have to go to bed now... I really look forward to phoning Nee-chan tomorrow. I miss the phoning quite a lot, but oh well... Not about to change now.

PS: I just notice that my writing style is really weird today - I hope you don't mind.
